Quick Simple Food

Product Details

"Life is too hectic to cook gourmet food every night.” “There are too many ingredients in the really great recipes.” “Eating healthy is too much work.” “If it doesn’t take a lot of effort, it won’t taste good.” These and many other misconceptions are proven wrong in Susie Quick’s Quick Simple Food, packed with 150 recipes sizzling with flavor, flair, and style—and without the hassle. These fresh, healthy dishes encompass the entire meal, from satisfying salads and amazingly quick pastas to nourishing stews and delicious desserts.

Quick Simple Food takes the path less traveled by quick-and-easy cookbooks and presents a world tour of sophisticated cuisine, from Latin America, Italy, and Greece to India, China, and Japan—and featuring a delectable array of updated American classics—while maintaining a focus on accessible ingredients and easy techniques.

And although nearly everything takes less than thirty minutes to prepare, this is more than mere daily sustenance—these recipes are for sophisticated diners who happen to be short on time, not just for can-opener cooks who happen to be hungry. The beautiful color photographs and the elegant design prove another myth wrong: quick and easy doesn’t have to mean dull and dowdy.

True to the title - K. S. Pettry - Charleston WV
The book will make you feel like a gourmet but without all the work. After years of meat and potatoes cooking this book was a real treat that opened up a whole new world for me. If you want an exciting change but just don't have the time or energy to play Julia Child then this is the cookbook for you. It was the answer to my prayers. The dishes really are impressive and belie their simplicity.

Some of the ingrediants are expensive and hard to find but it's worth the money and effort. There's more to cooking than Worschestershire sauce, ketchup and cream of mushroom soup.
